FindImagePos and return_offset

[kpassaur]

I can't seem to get the return_offset correct. I want the top left and bottom right. This comes from the help file.

return_offset is used to determine which coordinates should be returned and can be one of the following:

0 Top left position of located image within bitmap_to_scan. In other words X, Y is the top left corner of needle_bitmap within haystack
1 Center: X,Y will be set to the center of the located image within the main haystack image.
2 Top right
3 Bottom left
4 Bottom right
5 Middle top
6 Middle bottom
7 Middle left
8 Middle right

Code I am using - notice the 0 and 4 for top left and bottom right

FindImagePos>c:\temp2\region.JPG,SCREEN,0.7,0,TXArr,TYArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
FindImagePos>c:\temp2\region.JPG,SCREEN,0.7,4,BXArr,BYArr,NumFound,CCOEFF

MDL>%TXArr_0%,%TYArr_0%,%BXArr_0%,%BYArr_0%,c:\temp2\area2.JPG

This is what comes from the message box
3678,97,3678,97,c:\temp2\area2.JPG (both appear to be the top left

Hi Keith,
The image offset parameter only works with BMP or PNG files. Only returns top left location of JPGs no matter what you attempt to specify.

I didn't notice that in the help file. I'll think of something else.

Thanks

JPG aren't supported *AT ALL* in this function. The help file says:

needle_bitmap should be a fully qualified path to a bitmap or png file (see MatchAlgorithm type below for supported image types).

MatchAlgorithm goes on to say that EXACT *only* works with BMP files while CCOEFF works with PNG or BMP

Again - there is no support for JPG.
